deep frozen info

i've been reading this really nice book from rudolf arnheim, 'visual thinking'. apart from the disgusting cover (i had to stick my own cover to stand looking at the book), which is shameful for such a title, the book is fantastic! reminds me of the 'perception' lessons i took at undergraduate school. the book basically theorizes that thinking itself is visual, and the role of visual thinking has so long been underestimated. the book was written around the 1950's, but the concepts in it are still fresh and just mmm! yummy:) (hey, what kind of a book review is this?) perception, symbolism, fragmantation, signs... everybody joins the party!

is it possible to get your brain fried sitting in the 40+ degree heat?
